National training body moves from Adelaide to Melbourne

A decision to relocate the National Printing Industry Training Council (NPITC) will see the industry-specific organization move closer to the new Industry Skills Councils’ headquarters.

According to Roy Aldrich, Eastern Studios, member of NPITC committee and chairman of EPIC, the move is part of a strategy to broaden the industry’s engagement with key stakeholders.

“NPITC will remain as the peak industry advisory body but it will be located in the EPIC ITAB secretariat in Melbourne. We want to engage more with industry participants in areas such as the newspapers and labeling sectors,” he said.

Recognizing the changed realities of the training environment, Shane Earls, former executive officer, gave his full approval to the relocation.

“It makes sense for the NPITC to be closer to the action. This is a really good opportunity for the industry council to re-engage with some of the sectors of the industry it has overlooked,” he said.

NPITC has been is a relative hiatus while the new training packages were been compiled. These are now almost complete and will be rolled out before a proposed November forum for the industry, the date and location still to be announced.
